Axis values tilting

[Pranaysree]

How to rotate tick mark values at an angle of 45 degrees from bottom of left to top of right in sg plot ?

[Rick_SAS]

If you want to rotate the X axis labels, here is a link to the XAXIS documentation. Use the YAXIS statement if you want to rotate the labels for the vertical axis. Look up the FITPOLICY=ROTATE option.  Be aware, however, that the rotation only occurs if the labels are long and there would be a collision. 

To UNCONDITIONALLY rotate the axis labels, you would need to use the GTL. See the TICKVALUEPOLICY=ROTATEALWAYS option in the LAYOUT OVERLAY section of the GTL documentation.

[Jay54 · Accepted solution]

An option to rotate the tick values on a diagonal from bottom left to top right is planned for support in the next release.  It is not available in currently released software.  A workaround would be to use Annotate to insert such values on the x-axis.

[Pranaysree]

What is the code to Annotate ?

[Jay54]

SGAnnotation is a whole topic on its own, not some code I can send you.  You can read up on it in the paper linked.  The idea is you have to turn off the default tick values and then insert each tick value at the right location on the x-axis rotated the way you want.  Not a trivial task. https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings11/277-2011.pdf

I have tried with this, but there is no result.

This is the details which I have followed.

Many users here don't want to download Office  files because of virus potential, others have such things blocked by security software.

It is much better to post code and log examples into a code box in the forum, use the {i} menu icon.

Word documents are known to change plain code sometimes. A common issue being replacing a simple apostrophe ' or double quote " with "smart quotes" the curly versions. Also text format characters somtimes are hidden and when the code is copied from Word to the SAS editor the invisible characters interfere with code execution.

[Pranaysree]

Thank You for your support. I have tried all logs. I am sending you all the logs which I have tried. Can you please check the log, do some necessary corrections in it and send me back one log which will give me the result. I cannot understand where to modify, so I have done up to my level. Below are my all logs. Just say what to write in the command in which log no. and which line no. in that log.

Hi

There are a lot off error messages, too many to correct them all here, but you just have to work your way down from the top and check each error message, so for instance

202  ODs graphics on;

203  HEIGHT = 4in WIDTH = 3in;

     ------

     180

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

Gives a clear indication that height is not a vlaid statement in this context, looking at the syntax for ODS GRAPHICS will show that it should look like this:

ODs graphics on /   HEIGHT = 4in WIDTH = 3in;

If you really need the thick values rotated the way you want, I suggest to use the VBARPARM and TEXT plot statements. It is less effort as compared to annotate, but then you have less control over the appearance.

/* create table for bar chart */
proc sql;
  create table cars1 as
    select
      type
      , mean(invoice) as invoice
    from
      sashelp.cars
    group by
      1
  ;
quit;

/*
 * create table for text plot
 * variable names must be named differently to the first table * 
 */
proc sql;
  create table cars2 as
    select distinct
      type as type2
      , -1000 as value2
    from
      sashelp.cars
  ;
quit;

/* combine the two data sets into one */
data carsplot;
  set cars1 cars2;
run;

/* make use of the vbarparm and text plot statements */
proc sgplot data=carsplot noborder noautolegend;
  vbarparm category=type response=invoice;
  text x=type2 y=value2 text=type2 / 
    rotate=45
    position=bottomleft 
    textattrs=(SIZE=8pt)    
  ;
  xaxis display=none;
run;

However I would suggest to go with what is currently available.

Hey Bruno,  This is a clever idea to use TEXT plot to draw rotated values.  You could turn off the y-axis line, and only keep grids and values.   That said, it is not clear to me why rotated values are so important in this case.  Split tick values (now default) are much easier to read.  If the tick values are long, a HBAR may be preferable.
